Inkless Printing Technology from the Zink(Zero Ink) Team

Waltham based company Zink Imaging,LLC has developed this Zero Ink Technology. With Zink Technology we will get high quality digital images without Ink catridges or Ribbons or Toners.

The Printer size will become so small with this Technology since no Catrigde or Toner is needed. They are introducing this technology first in Camera Phones and Digital Cameras. This technology can transform any device into a printer. The printer can fit in your pocket.

The key to this printing is the special paper designed by Zink Team. The paper is made up of with dye crystals embedded inside and a polymer overcoat layer outside. The Zink Paper looks like normal white photo paper. At the time of printing the Zink Printer uses heat to activate and colorize these crystals.
